Make Your Own FontBot

What is a FontBot? It's a design you create from the letters and characters of a specific font. Designers have come up with all kinds of amazing robots and other creations using fonts, but what will yours look like?

We'll be giving a quick demonstration on how to create your own FontBot in your graphic design software in this month's Technical Library article.

Send us your creations - we'd love to see what our creative customers design!

Using the font Schneidler Md BT, our graphic designer, Ben Sieber, he designed his bot, Hit N Run - kind of a half Jackalope, half boxer?

It's hard to describe, but that's half the fun of FontBots. Below, we'll show you how he created this piece.

1)

Choose your font. There are a multitude of fonts to choose from, so make sure you pick one that has lots of fun shapes for your design.

When you have chosen your font, layout all of the characters and letters on screen so you can see what shapes you have available to work with.

Keep working and see what you can create! Send your favorites to amyd@epiloglaser.com and we'll post them on this page!
